how to boot without X

Wed Oct 6 21:39:45 UTC 2004

my 0.02 cents...

	maybe a tweak that allows user to customize runlevel during the
install
	might be a suitable compromise.

	i know there are times when i want to access the cmdline without X
restarting
	as i guess i'm in the group matt is talking about.

	it is true that older distro's allow it.

	just a thought.

v/r,
piranha

Users who are accustomed to dealing with UNIX idiosyncrasies such as
runlevels can customize their systems this way.

Likewise for the "recovery mode" boot provided by default in Ubuntu.
